Open Framework v1.1 — Stable

Design cloud architectures that are sovereign, secure, and built to last.

WAF++ is the open, vendor-neutral framework for teams who refuse to let cloud complexity dictate their architecture. 8 pillars. 83+ controls. Zero lock-in.

Extra WAF++ pillars
WHY ++

Two extra pillars for a world that classic frameworks weren't built for.

WAF++ takes the six proven Well-Architected pillars and adds the two that matter most for modern, regulated, AI-assisted cloud operations.

+01

Sovereign

Digital sovereignty, data residency, and vendor independence. The first plus keeps your architecture under your control.

+02

Agentic

Policy-aware autonomous agents and AI-assisted architecture reviews. The second plus makes the framework ready for the agentic era.

WAFPASS CLI

Compliance checks that run before the cloud.

Static analysis on Terraform, AWS CDK, and more. No credentials. No API calls. Just fast, traceable results.

HOW IT WORKS

From code to compliance in three steps.

01
Write Terraform

Build infrastructure-as-code the way you already do. WAF++ stays out of your workflow.

02
Run WAFPass

Static analysis checks every resource against WAF++ controls — no cloud credentials needed.

03
Ship compliant

Export PDF reports, block violations in CI, and prove governance to auditors.
